Chapter 376 - 378: Investigation_1
Someone called for the village chief, and the fortune-teller grabbed his belongings and ran.
Fearing being caught and paraded through the streets for spreading superstitious nonsense.
After everyone dispersed, Li Qiao returned to his own yard and sat down while the neighbors visited each other, all discussing the fortune-teller. They also reminded Qin Jin, "Jin, why didn’t you ask the fortune-teller to resolve your issues just now? Now the person has run away."
Old Mrs. Qin: "Resolve what? A scammer."
Li Qiao laughed, "Grandma really sees through people."
"But didn’t he not ask for money? And the thing about Jinhua was spot on. He even knew about the child she lost."
Old Mrs. Qin: "When you start asking questions, that’s when he’ll ask for money. As for Li Jinhua’s business, who knows if the fortune-teller learned it from somewhere else before entering the village? He probably planned to charge a fee to resolve her issues, but he was interrupted by the village chief before he could."
"Jinhua doesn’t need to resolve anything, ah. She can still have a girl, but for someone like Qiaoqiao who will have a formal job in the future, the authorities won’t let her have more children, right? If you only have one daughter, won’t all the land and houses in your family belong to the neighbors?"
Old Mrs. Qin calmly said, "The houses and land belong to the collective; if really no one is left, they belong to the village. How could they become the property of the neighbors? I give it to them, would they even dare to accept it?"
"That’s true too."
But even if others don’t dare to take it, having a son is still better, for he will marry someone else’s daughter in the future.
